What if Joseph Campbell got it backwards? The hero's journey appears in every culture, every medium, every age. We assume it's psychology. We assume it's shared brain architecture producing shared narratives. But what if we're not inventing these stories? What if we're remembering them? What if every myth, every movie, every bedtime story is actually a training simulation for the journey consciousness takes after death? The Tibetan Book of the Dead reads like a screenplay. Near-death experiences follow three-act structure. And we keep showing heroes walking into the light like we're trying to teach ourselves not to be afraid when the moment comes. Is any of this possible? Are we copying life when we tell stories, or are we copying the exit ramp?
